That is an element of the ride which usually goes unnoticed by many. I wonder how many other guests feel uncomfortable walking under? I suppose the whole ride is geared up to superstitions, so just believe they cancel themselves out :) Funnily enough I'd already ridden it a few times and not notice...

Well it does mean they'll have twelve whole attractions open from 9:30! Just think, there's no way the guests can complain now of not being able to do anything in the unlikely event that Wicker Man isn't ready to start operations, or Oblivion is running with a single station... :roll: Surely a mor...

Speaking of the staggered openings, Towers have confirmed in responses to a post on their Facebook page that, as of this coming Monday July 2nd, all of the major rides & attractions will be open from 10am. There is no confirmation how long this will be the case for, however I expect it to be un...

It is a thing of beauty, but I must agree with you about the tunnel While it is suppose to represent death and darkness, I would like to see some lighting effects under the track, giving the appearance that the track is burning underneath.

Remember how we were talking bout how Altons employees do care about guest experience? Well, it looks like some of them don't, doesn't it..... https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/398664404809285635/459741989420662794/IMG_1382.PNG?width=736&height=874 Seriously though. Watching YouTube whil...

I should have been clearer. MERLIN don't care for guest experience. I'm not denying that there are lots of passionate and caring people who work at Alton Towers who do care for their guests. Sadly Merlin don't care, clearly, and that does impact guests experience negatively, wether staff at Alton c...

I jump on the skyride as soon as it opens and go to Thirteen and Rita bang on ride opening. Then Hex, then X sector, Oblivion and Smiler are much quieter early afternoon. Then Spinball, Wicker Man, RMT and the Rapids and Duel, Try to get to Forbidden valley with about twenty minutes to go until ride...

For me, staggered openings aren't a problem on quiet days. I arrive at 11am, go straight to Thirteen and Rita, then go to Forbidden valley and do Nemesis. Then walk to Wickerman, and by the afternoon X sector has gone quiet, so The Smiler and Nemesis get plenty of rides. Then to Galactica for the l...

I was given a pink priority pass after a Nemesis breakdown. I used it on Wicker Man during my next visit. I wasn't asked to surrender it, can i use it again next time i go? If the ride host didn’t take it off you and you still have it in your possession, yes you can use it again. Priority Passes ar...

I still scream at the moment of the drop lol sure others must as well how much noisier can it be with the sound? But again I’m not a local resident so can’t really say I know what it’s like living with these things(don’t think I’d mind though lol) I''d love it if i lived nearby and could hear the n...
